Soup Packing

The Fairbury Distribution Center is supported by the Cissna Park, Fairbury, Forrest, and Gridley Apostolic Christian churches.

Soup packing is a project at several of the Distribution Centers. In addition, many churches within several hours of a Distribution Center request soup packing ingredients and supplies. Then, they assemble soup at their own location and return the finished product to the Distribution Center or distribute the soup locally.

The Soup Packing Process

Labels with the soup ingredients and cooking instructions are printed and placed on bags.
